New cargoes in the corridor
Based on the current situation on the world oil market attraction of oil and petrochemical products from Central Asia toward the corridor is becoming a strategic goal
In 2014 first stream of Azerbaijan methanol was attracted This year new cargoes of benzoyl and p-xylene from Kazakhstan are expected New cargo flow of Sulphur from Turkmenistan New cargo flow of Karbamid from Uzbekistan
